Agriculture is key for economic growth in many African countries: 60% jobs but only 25% GDP
Population growth (2.4 bn by 2050), Rapid Urbanization (1.4 bn by 2050) and the dietary
change are the key drivers for the demand for food
Aflatoxins are majors threat to Food Security – Nutrition – Income – Health
aflasafe is an effective solution to contribute to aflatoxins control in maize and groundnuts
HOW DO WE BRING THE USE OF AFLASAFE TO SCALE?
CONTEXT
Low agricultural productivity but significant food losses (up to 30%)
Impact of climate change on agricultural productivity and production

VISION:
SAFE AND NUTRITIOUS FOOD FOR AFRICAN POPULATION
Goal:
To contribute to improved food safety and increase the income of maize and
groundnut smallholder farmers through the use of aflasafe
Objectives:
- To increase the availability and accessibility of aflasafe
- To improve the access to market for aflatoxin-safe maize and groundnut
Vision of success:
aflasafe is widely distributed and it is used by smallholder farmers as part of the
good agriculture practices
GOAL AND OBJECTIVES

5. What is the potential and addressable market for aflasafe?
A member of CGIAR consortiumA member of CGIAR consortium May 24, 2017 www.iita.org
What is the demand for aflatoxin – safe products?
Financial viability of Aflasafe production and distribution
How many factories (and size) will make business sense?
Manufacture VS Distribution?
Models: Public VS Private led ?
Which locations?
Exclusive agreement? Duration
Incentive mechanisms?

Hectares of maize and groundnut protected by Aflasafe
Improved Food safety and Increased Income for smallholder farmers
- Increased margin for farmers due to price gain
- Volume of aflatoxin-safe maize and groundnut sold
- Value of aflatoxin-safe maize and groundnut sold
IR2: Improved access to markets for aflatoxin-safe maize and groundnut
Number of countries covered
by both operational aflasafe
manufacturing plants and
active distribution partners
Number of countries covered
by tech transfer agreements
for both aflasafe production
and distribution
IR1: Increased availability and accessibility of Aflasafe
- Support awareness creation on Aflatoxin
- Support the enforcement of regulations on Aflatoxin contamination
- Develop strategic partnership with anchor buyers of maize and groundnut
- Provide technical assistance and BDS to investors in manufacturing and
distribution of Aflasafe
- Support awareness creation about aflasafe
- Develop business case and organize business meetings to attract investors
- Prepare and submit the dossier for the registration of new aflasafe products
- Develop, implement and monitor the quality control
- Support investor in demonstration on the use and impacts of aflasafe

Conceptual Model: Building an Aflatoxin-safe Certified Market System
PILLARS
• Leverage the full resources
of the private sector to lead
the implementation of the
country strategies
• Provide recommendations
to put in place a policy
environment that restricts
the trade of aflatoxin-
contaminated goods
• Support investors to market
aflasafe to smallholders by
promoting price premiums
for aflatoxin-free products
and raise awareness on the
negative health impacts of
aflatoxin-laced foods
